Press release: The law that forces women to wear a "veil" or receive punishment is forbidden according to the laws of Islam.

The statement of the International Committee in Support of the Rights of Dervishes and Students in Iran is as following:

The statement concludes: "We Muslims see the insults against the Quran by a bunch of repressors that use the name of Islam and the Quran for their evil intentions - we condemn their acts and announce that the Muslim world knows that “enforced veil” has no place in the Quran. We declare that you should avoid the lies and suppression of free Iranian women that ends up in the name of Islam and the Quran. The verses of Quran stands not only against your shameless tricks like “enforced veil”, but says that the best veil, is “the veil of faith and dignity”.

وَ لِباسُ التّفوَی ذَلِکَ خَیر

“The clothes of piety is the best clothing”
